¡Mucha Lucha! is an American animated television series created by Eddie Mort and Lili Chin. Set in the fictional Southern California town of Luchaville, a location so heavily influenced by Mexican wrestling –specifically, the wrestling style known as lucha Libre– that nearly every resident has their own mask, costume, and signature move, the series follows young adolescents Rikochet, Buena Girl, and the Flea and their studies at the Foremost World-Renowned International School of Lucha.
The series premiered on The WB's Saturday-morning cartoon block Kids' WB on August 17, 2002, and ran for 3 seasons totaling 52 episodes. The series' third season title was changed to ¡Mucha Lucha!: Gigante, which aired its final episode, on February 26, 2005. A straight-to-video movie titled ¡Mucha Lucha!: The Return of El Maléfico was released on January 4, 2005.
